I've seen people almost hit themselves with a ball with their driver at the range.
Imagine what they would do with an 80 degree.
I wouldn't want to stand behind them, that's all I know.

I think that in practice when you reach around 70 degrees of loft the amount of spin diminishes.

Yep. The face is so flat that it doesn't really have enough impact to "grab" the ball. The ball just slides off from it, goes straight up and straight back down. A completely useless club unless you are performing in golf exhibitions.

The flop may be the best shot I have.

Besides, the Dr. Knockdown is

Ha - I tried to rate it a 1 and it simply will not let you rate it that low. Shenanigans!!!!!!!

Of course a guy could put 5 of these in his bag and shoot the most impressive 9 on any hole he choses.

If you took a full enough swing with this wedge could you hit yourself in the face? I might buy one or get a wedge bent to 80 just too have some fun.

Haha, according to the same website, Jack Hamm hits his 8 iron 260+ yards, and regularly hits over 400 yards with his driver. I can understand why he'd need an 80* wedge

i like to call him Jack the scam hamm.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
